Lesson:

Investigating Bouncy Balls

Discuss and form a plan for an experiment

  1. Form a scientific question about bouncy balls.

  2. propose a hypothesis.

  3. explain a fair test that will investigate your hypothesis.

  4. Make a prediction using your hypothesis to predict and answer about your question.

    • if-then statement

Notes on Scientific Experiments

  1. POSING SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS

    • SPECIFIC - NOT TOO GENERAL

    • OBJECTIVE - THEY LIKELY HAVE A DEFINITE ANSWER, NOT OPINION BASED

    • TESTABLE - AN EXPERIMENT OR OTHER FORM OF RESEARCH CAN CREATE INFORMATION THAT ANSWERS THEM

  2. FORMING A HYPOTHESIS

    • BASED ON OBSERVATIONS THAT IDENTIFY SOMETHING WE DON’T KNOW

    • PROPOSES AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT WE THINK IS HAPPENING

    • A MODEL MAY BE THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE THINK IS HAPPENING.

  3. EXPERIMENT: DESIGNING A FAIR TEST

    • IT IS IMPORTANT TO TEST ONE THING AT A TIME

    • “FAIRNESS” MEANS ONE KEY FACTOR WE THING EXPLAINS OUR OBSERVATIONS IS TESTED

    • ALL OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT IT ARE KEPT “FAIR” MEANING THE SAME.

    • THESE “FACTORS” ARE CALLED VARIABLES.

  4. MAKING A PREDICTION

    • WHAT IS THE EXPECTED OUTCOME OF YOUR TEST?

    • WHAT WILL YOU MEASURE THAT PROVES/DISPROVES IT?

    • USE JUDGEMENT AND ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION

    • MANY TIMES, PREDICTIONS ARE PARTLY OR MOSTLY INCORRECT

    • THAT’S OK!

  5. VARIABLES:

    • INDEPENDENT

      • THE FACTOR YOU ARE TESTING

    • DEPENDENT

      • THE OUTCOME YOUR WILL MEASURE TO TEST YOUR PREDICTION

    • CONTROLLED

      • FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE EXPERIMENT

      • THESE ARE KEPT CONSTANT SO THEY DO NOT.

Lesson:

SLANT: Design of experiments

  1. Posing scientific questions

    • specific - not too general

    • objective - they likely have a definite answer, not opinion based

    • testable - an experiment or other form of research can create information that answers them

  2. forming a hypothesis

    • based on observations that identify SOMETHING we don’t know

    • proposes an explanation of what we think is happening

    • a model may be the best way to explain what we think is happening.

  3. Experiment: Designing a fair test

    • it is important to test one thing at a time

    • “fairness” means one key factor we thing explains our observations is tested

    • all other factors that may affect it are kept “fair” meaning the same.

    • These “factors” are called variables.

  4. making a prediction

    • What is the expected outcome of your test?

    • what will you measure that proves/disproves it?

    • use judgement and all available information

    • many times, predictions are partly or mostly incorrect

    • that’s ok!

  5. Variables:

    • Independent

      • the factor you are testing

    • Dependent

      • The outcome your will measure to test your prediction

    • Controlled

      • factors that could affect the outcome of the experiment

      • these are kept constant so they do not.
